The Lehi Fire Department is seeking volunteers to play the roles of victims during a planned mass casualty practice event. According to a November 1 report, the agency is looking for participants to assist with the upcoming training exercise.
The training scenario is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 3 and Wednesday, Nov. 4. Organizers will attempt to simulate an outdoor concert scenario, and participants are asked to bring chairs and blankets as if they were attending an event. Because the training occurs in November, organizers advise volunteers to dress accordingly.
The exercise will include special effects such as simulated gunfire. Some role players will be assigned specific tasks, including being assessed, treated, and transported by medical personnel. The scenario will run twice each day on Tuesday and Wednesday between noon and 5 p.m.
A mandatory briefing meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday in the community room on the first floor of the Lehi Civic Center, located at 131 N. 100 East. Parking for the event will be available near the amphitheater of Family Park at 1999 N. 600 East.
Signing up is required for those interested in participating in the drill.
